ALMOND CRUSTED SALMON SALAD

My daughter took me to lunch last Saturday. I had an almond crusted salmon salad paired with a cucumber mojito. I must say, this was the best lunch I have had in a long time. I was also inspired to create my version of this delicious dish. I’ve added soft boiled eggs, butter lettuce, crispy bacon, broccoli slaw, and avocado vinaigrette.

In a bowl add the almonds, parsley and grapefruit juice mix well. Put seasoned flour on a plate. Liberally season the salmon with salt, and pepper on both sides. Dredge the salmon in the flour, shake off the excess. Run the salmon through the egg wash. Pat the almond mixture on one side of the salmon then firmly press the almond mixture onto the fish to ensure the nuts stick.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter along with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to a heavy skillet. Add salmon to skillet, almond-coated side down. Cook until crust is brown, this takes about 5-minutes, turn over and brown on the other side. Remove from the skillet and rest on a wire rack.
